2010 Chinese Culture Weekend
Friday, August 27th to Sunday, August 29th

Would you and your family like to learn more about Chinese culture?

If so, the Chinese Culture Weekend is the place for you. Families will get a chance to relax, make friends, participate in camp-type activities and learn more about China and its culture in our lovely valley nestled beneath the Hogback Mountains.

While most families who come to Chinese Culture Weekend have adopted children from China, everyone is welcome.

2010 Fees
(We are offering a sliding scale fee for adults this summer. Our programs generally cost more than our tuition reflects. We have had generous subsidies provided over the years but access to those funds is dwindling. For Chinese Culture Weekend, adults can pay anywhere from $200 (which reflects our typical yearly increase) to $300 (which is the more realistic program cost). We hope this option will allow people to pay what they can. Those who can pay more will help us make the most of our available scholarship funds.)

Fees include tenting, meals and most programs.
Adults $200-300; Teens $150; Kids (3-12) $125; Kids (2 and under) $45.
Cabins - $30 per bed, e.g. $90 for a 3-person cabin. Call and register early for your choice of cabins.
Non-refundable registration fee of $15.
